We're moving to the Kailua side of the island in about 3 weeks. Any fun crunchy mama groups there? I'm also looking for info on midwives in the area. Are there any birth centers on Oahu? If not, what are my best options for birthing as naturally as possible?

A friend of mine just gave birth at Castle Hospital in Kailua. According to her, they have a 'jacuzzi' (which sounds to me almost like a birthing pool) and probably is your best shot at a very natural birth. I'm not sure who her doctor was though.

I gave birth at Queen's in Honolulu. No tubs, nothing. They do, however, encourage you to walk everywhere when you're in the beginning stages of labor!
